While the passengers who want to travel from Aswan to Daraw Airport use taxis heavily, there are a lot of people going to the airport by using the car rental option.
You can easily get to the airport by taking a taxi, 24-hours a day, with stops on the important streets of the city. Since taxi drivers in the city are open to bargaining, if you do not want to pay high sums, it might be beneficiary for you to talk to the driver before the trip.
You can rent a car over the internet or by phone from Avis, Alamo, Budget, Hertz and National companies, and then deliver the rental car at the airport car park after your journey.
Daraw Airport, built near the eye-catching beauty of the Nile River, is able to provide all kinds of services to passengers with a single terminal building. Passengers can use the wireless internet at every corner of the terminal building and they can perform worship in the mosque and make cash transactions from the ATMs. Among the banks of ATMs located at the airport are CIB, Misr Bank, Al Ahly Egyptian Bank and Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank.
There is a large playground for passengers with kids at the airport where the pharmacy, health room, post office and lost-goods bureau are available. There is a private smoking room because indoor smoking is forbidden. In addition, the Egyptian Air Duty Free store and the SSP Egypt restaurant are also open to the passengers to have a good time during their waiting time.
Public transportation in Erbil is not very developed. The most preferred option to go to the city center from the airport is the airport shuttle services which are offered free of charge. You can reach the city center by the shuttle services departing every 15 minutes.
If you don't prefer the shuttle service, you can also reach the city center by the taxis waiting for you at the exit of the airport. If you want to take a taxi, make sure the driver doesn't take you a long way unnecessarily. Besides, the taxis at the airport run like minibuses. Therefore, if you are going to the same destination together with some other passengers, you can share the taxi with them.
